Evenmens

What Evenmens does

Stichting Evenmens is a Dutch nonprofit foundation (ANBI status) founded in 1981 and headquartered in Nijverdal, Netherlands, that delivers informal care (mantelzorg) support services across 10 municipalities in the province of Overijssel. The organization serves informal caregivers, people with dementia, individuals with autism spectrum disorder, people with mental health vulnerabilities (GGZ), young caregivers, and families in palliative or end-of-life phases. As of 2026 the organization operates with 11–50 staff.

Core services include Mantelzorgondersteuning (caregiver support), volunteer matching (EvenMaatje for mental health and zorgvrijwilligers for other conditions), Alzheimer's cafés, autism support groups, Ontmoetingscentra (meeting centers), young caregiver programs (Pluisje in de Wind, Samen Sterk), grief counseling, work-care balance support (Werk & Mantelzorg), and educational programs including school guest lessons and the theater production "Zie mij?!". The operating model relies on professional consulenten (consultants) and a trained volunteer corps; no proprietary technology platform is evident in the source material.

Revenue is generated primarily through contracts with 10 municipalities under the Dutch Wet maatschappelijke ondersteuning (Wmo, Social Support Act), supplemented by donations, gifts, and sponsorship via Stichting Steunfonds Evenmens, and project-specific grants such as those from Provincie Overijssel. As an ANBI-registered entity, donations are tax-deductible in the Netherlands. All core services are provided free of charge to end users; the functional payer is the municipality, with residents as beneficiaries.

Direct peers

• Carinova: Regional healthcare and welfare organization in Overijssel that co-runs Kom d'r In meeting centers with Evenmens in Ommen and Raalte. Directly comparable in dementia support and caregiver services within the same geographic footprint.
• VPTZ Nederland: National umbrella organization coordinating Voluntary Palliative Terminal Care (Vrijwillige Palliatieve Terminale Zorg) providers in the Netherlands, of which Evenmens' VPTZ program is a regional member. Directly comparable in the palliative volunteer support vertical.
• Mezzo: National Dutch association for informal caregivers (mantelzorgers) and the organizations that support them. Directly comparable to Evenmens in mission (caregiver support, advocacy, volunteer coordination) but operates at a national advocacy and network level rather than as a regional service provider.
• Stichting De Welle: Local welfare foundation in Overijssel partnering with Evenmens on Kom d'r In meeting centers in Wierden and Hellendoorn. Directly comparable in community-based informal care delivery and municipality-funded operating model.
• MantelzorgNL: National Dutch caregiver platform providing information, peer communities, and advocacy for mantelzorgers. Directly comparable to Evenmens in target audience and core mission, with overlapping services such as caregiver courses and support matching, but with a digital/national reach versus Evenmens' regional in-person model.
• MEE Samen: Dutch organization supporting people with disabilities and their families, including the autism Trefpunten that Evenmens co-runs in Twenterand and Wierden. Directly comparable in target populations and informal support delivery model, with overlapping geographic coverage.

Broad incumbents

• Alzheimer Nederland: National Dutch dementia association that operates the Alzheimer Cafés and Trefpunten that Evenmens hosts locally. Highly comparable in dementia-specific support but at much larger national scale; Evenmens is essentially a regional implementation partner for several of its programs.
• NVA (Nederlandse Vereniging voor Autisme): National Dutch autism association collaborating with Evenmens on autism awareness and Autisme Trefpunt programs in Wierden. Comparable in autism caregiver and individual support, but operating at a national advocacy and information scale.
• Humanitas: Large Dutch welfare organization providing volunteer-driven support including buddy programs, end-of-life support, and caregiver relief. Comparable service portfolio to Evenmens but at much broader national scale with professionalized operations.

Emerging players

• Stichting Wensambulance Hardenberg: Local wish-ambulance foundation operating in partnership with Evenmens (80 volunteers, two vehicles). Comparable as a volunteer-driven palliative/end-of-life support organization in the same Overijssel region with a narrower service scope.
